Last night we previewed this exhibit in a members only opportunity. Exqusite ivory carving of a teacher was the centerpiece for me! Detailed paintings were best with magnifying glasses provided by the museum. No photos allowed.
The highlight exhibit was in the basement, where Jung's Red Book was. 19th Century photographs of Bhutan and Sikkim taken by Brits in power, and putting Ansel Adams in a race for the grand inbreath/"oh, my" inevitable when viewing immense stillness. Photog White's decendents were present to share in the delight of the only set of photos of it's kind on this planet. You won't believe the size of the glaciers 180 years ago!
Best gift shop of any NYC museum!
Best rice and veggies in town at the cafe bar.
Rubin Museum of Art, 7th Avenue on 17th Street, closed Tuesday.
